Not even that.  3/4 of the hardware I have requires modifications to
the X config file, most commonly because the monitor cannot handle
the highest resolutions and refresh rates of the video hardware.

The config files that are generated by the X configuration tools
are almost always wrong, for older hardware and displays.
